Yagai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, Representative Director and President: Yuichi Yagai), which manufactures and sells calpas and jerky, will launch "Otsuya Calpas Juicy Frank Flavor" nationwide sequentially from Monday, May 18, 2026.
*Calculated from shipment results for one year from August 2024 to July 2025.
Features of Juicy Frank Flavor
* Compared to regular Otsuya Calpas, it has a softer texture and a juicier taste.
* It has a familiar sweet ketchup flavor that is easy for children to eat.
* The package design is inspired by a street stall, creating a festive atmosphere.
Development Background / Product Description
To prepare for the hot summer, we developed "Otsuya Calpas Juicy Frank Flavor," which recreates the popular frankfurter taste from festivals in "Otsuya Calpas."
The texture is soft, and the juiciness spreads with every bite.
For the taste, we adopted a sweet ketchup flavor familiar to children. Furthermore, by strengthening the smoky flavor by approximately two times compared to regular "Otsuya Calpas," we achieved the savory aroma of a frankfurter grilled on a street stall griddle.
"Otsuya Calpas Juicy Frank Flavor" is perfect as a snack to satisfy a small hunger "alone anytime" or as a side dish to "share with everyone." It is a product that can be enjoyed in various situations.
